Hypocrisy on a grand scale!!!

While the republicans are known for their blatant hypocrisy, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell takes it to a new level. Thanks to George Bush\'s new book, we find out that in the elections of 2006, while Mr. McConnell was busy admonishing democrats for wanting to get out of Iraq, he was secretly begging President Bush [...]

The Scooter Story…

It is interesting that while George Bush is on A Book tour to restore his legacy. In the meantime there is also a movie opening that has a different view of his legacy. Fair Game, is a movie about the Valerie Plame affair, based on the books by both Valerie Plame herself and her husband [...]

NYT Editorial and Senator Feingold

Obviously I agree with the New York Times on this one, or I wouldn’t bother re-posting it here. But the vacuous campaign being run by Mr. Ron Johnson hasn’t gone unnoticed nationally!

When it came to the actual details of governing, Senator Russ Feingold, a Democrat of Wisconsin, trounced his Republican challenger, Ron Johnson, in [...]

Honor and Dishonor in the Senate on DADT

John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Jeff Sessions, Mitch McConnell and all the other lying sack of poop, and unpleasant homophobic geezer Senators in the U.S. Senate should be shamed for their dishonor of the thousands of gay and lesbian soldiers who have served honorably in the U.S. Military and ~14,000 who have been discharged after costly witch hunts. These men don’t understand the term “quote” honor and clearly don’t understand the reality of how this policy is being carried out today. [...]

Collateral murder

WikiLeaks, a non-profit organization committed to exposing significant injustice around the world, has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad, including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act without [...]

Thank you Captain Obvious

In his new memoir, Republican strategist Karl “Turdblossom” Rove, a master of the obvious, notes notes that the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq badly damaged the Bush administration’s credibility and led to dwindling public support for the war. Rove also calls the 2003 invasion of Iraq the most consequential act of [...]

Lynndie at the LoC redux

Somehow I missed this last week. 

Lynndie England, the ex-U.S. soldier who became infamous for her role in abusing Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, mistreatment captured in photos that appalled people across the globe, was scheduled to speak at the Library of Congress today as part of the tour to promote her new book. But [...]

Lynndie at the Library

Lynndie England will be at the Library of Congress today promoting her new book. America’s infamous military police reservist at Abu Ghraib will be discussing her role in the abuse of prisoners.

I am disgusted to know that the Library of Congress will be the venue for selling her book.

As she said [...]
